My Gunt Rant in Response to a Former FB 'Friend'

[scmoore120]

52. I am also a Former LEO

and my views have changed about guns in the last six months. I can not think of any valid reason why some one who is not in the military or active Law Enforcement would need an assault weapon or large capacity magazine. If you do not train with these weapons, and develop the necessary skills on a regular basis, they will not save the ordinary civilian from a shooter. Studies have shown that it actually makes you more of a target.

Don't get me wrong, I think they would be really cool to hold and to shoot, especially the way they are depicted on Television, but really beyond that....

I can't think of the New Town Shootings without picturing my children and can only imagine the pain that the families of those victims are enduring.

I can attest to Rusty Girl's claim that many firearms are stolen, in fact they are sought after by drug addicts that would rob a home so that they can be traded for more drugs.

I am not anti gun either, but if you need more than 10 rounds and multiple clips then you have bigger problems.
